3. Autoimmune disorders: such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes, chronic infection, pernicious anemia, etc., which may affect the function of melanocytes in the body and lead to the occurrence of vitiligo;

4. Melanocyte destruction: It is common in local trauma, frequent exposure to the sun and other factors, which can cause vitiligo due to the destruction of melanocytes.
